The Romberg test assesses the client's balance. The Weber test assesses for unilateral deafness. The Allen test assesses for patency of the arteries of the hand (usually before arterial puncture). The Rinne test compares bone conduction hearing with air conduction.

Answer to Question 2

Kyphosis is an exaggeration of the posterior curvature of the thoracic spine (hunchback).
Lordosis is an increased lumbar curvature (swayback). Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease that causes a decrease in quality and quantity of bone. Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine.
